Typed Letter signed: "Dean Acheson" as Secretary of
State, 1 page, 7x9. Washington, D.C., 1952 March 27. On official
letterhead to Basil O'Connor, New York, N. Y. In full: "Thank you for
sending me a copy of your address 'Man's Responsibility in the Fight Against
Disease'. I am deeply grateful for your thoughtfulness and for your kind
inscription. Sincerely yours". DEAN ACHESON (1893-1971) was appointed
Assistant Secretary of State by President Roosevelt in 1933, but resigned that
same year due to differences with FDR's foreign economic policy. Brought back
in 1941 as Under Secretary, he served through World War II and helped forge the
postwar Bretton Woods system for the world economy. As Secretary of State
(1949-1953) in the Truman administration, he was a key architect of the
containment policy, devised to curb the expansion of the Soviet Union and of
communism without resort to war. As one of the "Wise Men," informal senior
advisors, he advised Presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon (a former foe).
Acheson received a Pulitzer Prize in History (1970) for his memoir
Present at the Creation. Basil O'Connor (1892-1972), President
Franklin Roosevelt's former law partner, declined a post in the administration
but was inspired by FDR's polio to become a founder of what is now called the
March of Dimes, and to head the American Red Cross (1944-1950). Normal mailing
folds. Lightly creased. Fine condition.
